July 2024: Events and Anniversaries Preview

Welcome to your akg-images July preview with content ideas for the coming months and albums of supporting images. 

July is here bringing something for everyone. There is sunshine and sport, with both Wimbledon and the Olympics starting this month. Chess Day gives us an opportunity to participate in something a little less strenuous (but it is considered a sport). Perhaps a trip to the lido is more appealing for some, or celebrating Chocolate Day which is already circled on our office calendar.

You can find the preview in our Newsroom along with other stories, and connect with us on Instagram and LinkedIn where we regularly share useful content.

Featured Story: "Degenerate Art" and Nazi Plunder - How the Nazis sought to control what was considered art, the organised looting of European countries, and the 'Monuments Men' who worked to preserve and recover European cultural treasures.
